Cacao (Kakaw) is presence
It is connection
It is love
It is honoring
It is medicine
Every moment and interaction is a ritual, it is honoring history, nature, our ancestors — all of them
Every action holds an intention, from the moment the earth is prepared, to the way it reaches your hands in a cup — and that is what gives it its ceremonial grace
Kakaw respects its origin, its history, and its Mayan legacy
Drinking this kakaw is also a ritual
It is a journey of recognition and gratitude
It is an opportunity to realize that you are part of something much greater, that everything and everyone is connected
It is a path toward your interior, accompanied by the love and light of grandmother kakaw
Who, with her wisdom and subtlety, guides you
To recognize yourself
To let yourself breathe and allow a pause
To have an encounter with yourself
A moment of intimacy to feel yourself
A conversation in silence
A shared dance at the rhythm you need to heal and evolve
This special circle is being held at the beautiful Canoe Club in Caversham on the banks of the River Thames. 15 min walk from Reading Central station. Estef is Mexican / Lebanese and knows directly the Mayan people who grow kakaw for ceremonial purposes that she will bring with her. If you are sensitive to kakaw you do not need to consume a lot! The power is in connecting with this plant and your intention.
